Yipppeee!

Just when I'd decided to cancel my sub to ancestry - they get the 1939 register.

Decisions, decisions....

My late father is redacted although his sister, who is younger and outlived him, isn't.

The opening of people born less than 100 years ago depends on whether the death registration can be found. If either is inaccurate or has been mistranscribed, the chances are slim.

Her sister's married surnames are added but the odd thing is that one who married twice has her 1959 remarriage written in in green ink, well after the registration act was repealed.

Don't forget that the same register was used by the NHS until 1991.  Marriages and deaths until that time would likely be written in. Some are on the right-hand page, where we can't see.

Just been browsing 1939 Register for Hindley, Lancashire, (NVCB) and found a page where every entry is redacted, yes all 44!   
The previous page had only 10 entries visible with the other 34 closed.

Someone is going to be disappointed.  It could even be me as I am struggling to find some relatives even though they were born in late 1800s and were alive in '39.

Added: I earlier found a couple (different area), right names & same address as mine but the birth years are 20 years earlier than the ones I have for them. 

Added 2: just found a second 'black' page this time in NVCC.

Is it likely that they were all evacuated children and therefore born well after 1917?

Good point! I found another two such pages in the first seven books relating to Hindley NVCA-G , before I gave up looking, and they were indeed toward the end of each book where late additions were entered according to TNA notes. One page where I could see part of the entries (the redaction had slipped) they were in red ink.

How can you find a certain street?  I'm looking for Hinstock Road, Birmingham.  On FindMyPast there are loads of houses missing

Who are you looking for? Looking at FindMyPast there only seem to be even numbers in Hinstock Road. However, if you then click through the pages, there are a few odd ones toward the end. There are also a lot of whole sections which are closed records for some reason.

If you have access to FindMyPast, it is worth contacting them and asking about the odd numbers. I found a whole section of my grandparents' road missing (typically their house was amongst that) so I queried it, they checked  and were able to show it.

I'm looking for No. 26, I did talk to FindMyPast, but they talked a load of turkey

Are you sure there are people there whose details would not be redacted?

My gran and gramps are there in the 1939 electoral register, they died in 1972 and 1950.  Can't understand why I can't find them.
